    !x and -x are the same thing. They mean that a verb cannot be called from by
    another verb.
    So, if you had a verb like @join (example, not sure if it is -x or not) and
    it was -x, a verb trying to run it in a way such as player:("@join")() would
    get a verb not found I believe. Hope this helps.
